Hello I was wondering if anybody could help me with the reasoning in AC A and C.

I see how the correct answer choice of A would weaken the argument, if true, so I see how it's the right answer, however I am having trouble seeing why C is not the answer. My thinking was that time plays a role, like an alternative hypothesis/factor affecting theft rate in the neighborhood, that would justify less theft overall? So I dont know what is not clicking

Any help is appreciated!

Hello! I appear to hard time with sufficient and necessary which is leading to me applying them wrong in lawgic and getting the quiz questions backwards. Can someone please help in dumbing it down? I went back to review but somehow confused myself even more and might just be overthinking it now. I would appreciate any help.

I’m planning on writing the LSAT in August and have been recently struggling with lr. I previously was averaging -6 but on the pts in the 80’s and 90’s I have started to average -11.

Please let me know if you have any tips to recover from this downfall.

Can anyone explain how it's B and not D

I broke it down like this

I thought of it as MC for the end because it would justify why they did all this

I am a bit confused about the last sentence. Is except the same as the group "unless/without"?

Defer to journalists → Don't have direct experience

Have direct experience → Don't defer to journalists?

Thanks!

For this NA question I choose B, could someone explain to my why C is correct?

I'm struggling in RC. It's my worst section, and I'm obviously trying to improve. I feel like going through the stories untimed doesn't exactly help me. I end up taking my time, finding the right answer, and say of course this was it. I feel like honing in on my reading speed is what will get me there. Does anyone have any advice on what worked for them to improve their RC section?

Thanks!

JY says in the prep test explanation video there is a seperate video on 7sage to watch where all possible worlds are solved. Where can I find his video?

This mistakes correlation with causation. Just because less people flew that day does not mean it was due to Friday the 13th. I selected C and C is correct because the weather could have been a factor in why they did not fly that day.

E is the wrong answer and A is the right answer. Can someone explain why A is right and not E?

I am planning on writing the Aug LSAT and my pt score keeps dropping. I’m not burned out and I’m not sure what is happening.

My worst section is RC and it is getting worse rather than better with practice and I need some tips.

Please help!

Is it just me or is this question worded very complicated?

I would like some help in identifying some ways in which the following passage could be flawed: both if it were to be modified and also as it is currently. In other words, what would I have to modify in order to make the passage flawed, if it is not already? Some necessary assumptions for the following passage would also be much appreciated.

"In the past 1,000 experiments, whenever an experimental fungicide was applied to coffee plants infected with coffee rust, the infection disappeared. The coffee rust never disappeared before the fungicide was applied. Therefore, in these experiments, application of the fungicide caused the disappearance of coffee rust."

Thank you

I got the answer right, but why is it right

Hi, I am still confused on how choice D doesn't weaken the argument? Choice A seems like a weak answer choice doesn't it?

Could someone please explain why A is correct? #help

Can someone please explain this question I got the original and blind review answer wrong, and I am just very confused on how you come to the conclusion of "E" being the correct answer choice.

If someone could explain their reasoning behind how they reached the correct answer to this question it would be much appreciated.

I am consistently missing 3 to 5 on RC and I am unable to get it down to a -0-2~3 range. Has anyone been in this situation and are you willing to share tips for getting over the hump?

I take notes for each paragraph, try to highlight wrong portions of answers. I seem to miss analogy questions a lot and I noticed that every time I change my answer I tend to get it wrong. I feel like I need to be disciplined about changing my answer from my gut instinct, but I seem to convince myself that I should change it every time.

thanks!

Any tips on getting faster at RC? I'm trying to read each passage in 4min and answer questions in 4 min, but I am finding that I still take too much time on answering the questions. Should I spend less time reading?

Hi, I had a quick question about denying the link between premise and conclusion.

In this video: https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/egyptian-and-mayan-pyramids-flaw-question/

JY talks about how denying the argument by denying the link between the premise and conclusion is not the same as denying the conclusion. In the particular question, the author denies the link between premise and conclusion but is not allowed to deny the conclusion.

When are you ever allowed to deny the conclusion? Or are you not allowed to usually?

Thanks.

When I do Necessary Assumption Question, I prefer to negate the Answer Choice and then test whether the argument becomes invalid. But this question confused me. Can anybody help me explain the question by negating and testing?

can someone explain why it a and not c?

I am having the hardest time understanding how E is the answer to this one. It was an answer I dismissed outright because I didn't see what the healthcare had to do with the murder rate. Perhaps the question was phrased weird, but I can't figure how to work it in my brain. Any advice?

I answered C for this question, when the answer was B, but I'd like further review on this answer.
